San Quirico & Bagno Vignoni Private Tour
At the time of your choice, you'll meet your guide on Via Poliziano. From there you'll begin a walking tour of San Quirico d'Orcia that will lead you to discover the main charms of this Tuscan town.
We'll start by talking about the significance of this town during the Middle Ages as a place of welcome for pilgrims traveling to Rome along the Via Francigena, a fascinating story!
You'll see the Collegiate Church of San Quirico, a Romanesque temple that stands out for its three elaborately decorated porticoes from different periods, as well as the Church of San Francesco. Then, we'll check out the Horti Leonini, a perfect example of the Italian gardens of the 16th century boasting a statue in honor of Cosimo III de Medici and ruins of the Cassero tower, destroyed during World War II.
At the end of the private tour of San Quirico d'Orcia, you'll take your own vehicle or use public transport to reach Bagno Vignoni, an ancient medieval village located just 6 kilometers away.
Upon arrival, we'll start a guided tour to explore all the places that give Bagno Vignoni its charm. You'll be amazed by its curious main square, which is actually a large hot springs basin. We'll also tell you all about the links between this village and the nun Catherine of Siena.
After three hours of sightseeing, we'll conclude the private tour in the center of Bagno Vignoni. If you'd like, you can also take a dip in the thermal baths at the end of the tour!
